So people are actually using Google Podcasts? It's a pretty shit app for the use case.

How so? It has fit my use case better than any other podcast app in the last 15 years.

It's so basic, which is precisely why I like it.

Ok, I just revisited it after a few years, and it seems kinda decent now, altho it's still pretty ugly. Back when I first tried it when it launched, it was as barebones as it could be. Adding new podcasts sucked, it had no trim silence option, no web app etc. Still tho, Pocket Casts is ahead of it even today.

not for long since it's being shut down in 2024 :P

I never understand why people choose formats meant for local consumption and then use centralized cloud services to consume it. Podcasts aren't the only example. RSS feed readers and git are others. If you want synchronization across devices, then use either a plain cloud storage or something even better - like syncthing.

Syncthing? How can I use syncthing to mimic the behavior of google podcasts?
